GE IC697BEM733D Remote I/O Scanner

Product Information: General Electric IC697BEM733D Remote I/O Scanner

Manufacturer:

• General Electric (GE)

Model/Part Number:

• IC697BEM733D

Description:

The IC697BEM733D is a Genius Remote I/O Scanner designed for use with the GE 90-70 Series PLC. It is used to interface IC697 I/O modules to an IC66 bus, allowing the PLC to handle I/O modules located remotely from the central processor. This module supports both discrete and analog I/O modules and can manage a variety of other modules such as PCM, ADS, and analog expander modules. The IC697BEM733D enables a significant distance of up to 7500 feet (2275 meters) from the controller, offering flexible and efficient solutions for distributed control systems.

The module supports 128 input/output bytes per remote drop and can handle up to eight racks in a single remote drop, with racks being connected by a bus transmitter and a bus receiver. It is compatible with 9-slot and 5-slot racks, with a maximum distance of 50 feet (15 meters) between the first and last racks in a remote drop.

Important Considerations:

• The remote drop can accommodate discrete and analog I/O modules, but I/O interrupts, bus controllers, communications modules, or any modules requiring COMREQ instructions are not supported in a remote drop.
• The IC697BEM733D is designed to be used with IC697 PLC systems, though it can also be controlled by other PLCs or computers that can manage an IC66 bus (e.g., IC660 PLCs, IC655 PLCs, or computers equipped with a PCIM, QBIM, or GENI-based interface).

Key Features:

• Max Distance from Controller: 7500 feet (2275 meters)
• Discrete and Analog I/O Support: Supports both discrete and analog I/O modules, including PCM, ADS, and analog expander modules
• Number of Racks per Drop: Up to 8 racks per remote drop (with 9-slot or 5-slot racks)
• Maximum Distance Between Racks: 50 feet (15 meters) from first to last rack in the remote drop
• Data Rate: 38.4 Kbaud
• Input/Output Points: 128 bytes per drop (total input and output)
• Module Compatibility: Works with IC697 I/O modules, as well as bus transmitters, bus receivers, and other modules such as PCM and ADS.
• No Interrupt or COMREQ Support: Remote drops cannot have I/O interrupts, bus controllers, or communication modules that rely on COMREQ instructions.
